The Law of Liberty

We believe in the reality of our freedoms because of the assertion made by our Declaration of Independence signed on July 4, 1776 and the subsequent activities of Americans who lived in light of the truths expressed in that document--those who throughout our history have "pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.”

But there is another magnificent document that offers a blessed freedom to any man of any nationality: it is called the “The Law of Liberty.” It is God’s “Divine Charter of Freedom.” To the extent that men believe in the reality of its declaration and live in the reality of the truths expressed therein, they enjoy a
freedom that no government can give or take away & only the Author of Liberty can graciously bestow.

Whereas the U.S. Declaration of Independence asserts that “all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” what does God’s perfect “Law of Liberty” offer? In this message from James 1:25 you will discover God’s perfect Law of Liberty provides the very same things!

One of the significant differences however between the two declarations is this: whereas the Declaration of Independence can only assert that men have the right to pursue happiness with no guarantee they will ever find it, God’s law of liberty guarantees true happiness to the one liberated by it.

On this 4th of July in which we celebrate our nation's 237th birthday, learn how to be really free. This message from God's Word will help you do so.
